You dropping a mediocre known quantity like Yonder Alonso to take a swing on Senzel's upside in shallow 10-team?
Brad Johnson
4:54
I don't hate that plan
I really like Alonso :(
4:55
His production is very much replaceable though
And if you need the SBs, he ain't gonna give 'em

i traded jose Martinez for willie Calhoun before the season (worried about PT).....and i going to be upset about this or very upset about this?
Brad Johnson
4:55
If it's dynasty or keeper, you'll come out ahead
otherwise, very upset

Reason for optimism for Dansby Swanson? Would you want him or A. Simmons as a replacement for Bogaerts?
Brad Johnson
4:55
Simmons for me
4:56
At the end of the day, a good Swanson season is like 14 HR, 6 SB, and a .270 average.
That's a GOOD season
4:57
Simmons actually bats 6th so he'll get some run production to go with his 12 HR, 15 SB, and .280 AVG

Judge is 0-12 with 10 Ks vs Sale. Do him and Giancarlo combine for over/under 5.5 Ks tonight?
Brad Johnson
4:58
I almost put Judge in my DFS lineup for the lulz

Trading closers for like 50th ranked SPs is typically a no-brainer move, right?  Like a Greg Holland for Chase Anderson/Lance Lynn?
Brad Johnson
4:58
Well, you've named some unattractive options there
4:59
I wouldn't call it a no brainer
more like par value
Since saves are such a constrained stat, I like to extract a premium when possible

7x7 dynasty 12t QS and W. trade Estrada for Faria or AAron Sanchez?

does fangraphs have an office, or do you guys just all work from home
Brad Johnson

The corporate offices are located in Cistulli's Basement
Cistulli's Basement also happens to be a very popular nightclub

I benched Baez for Franco today. This is why I hate this game..
Votto Owner
5:00
Votto has a 43% LD rate but a BABIP of only .300. Also only walking 5% also small sample size? Right? RIGHT??!?!?!?

Do you think it's smart to be super selective / cautious with starting pitching early and wait for peripherals to stabilize before making decisions? Yea, you'll miss out on the pickups of the year. But you also won't have to cope with the busts who destroy your ratios.
Brad Johnson
5:01
I take the other approach and go all in
April ERAs are the lowest, although you're right that they're the least predictable
Matt W

Let's talk Willie Calhoun. When's his callup? ROS projections?
Brad Johnson
5:02
I don't see any reason for the call to wait past April 20th or so
I'm not as hugely in on Calhoun as the projection systems
20+ HR .265 average no speed in 450 PA?
Good run production, assuming a decent lineup role
Sean

Liverpool just knocked City out of the Champions League.
Brad Johnson

I'm stoked for Bratwurst versus Worcestershire tonight.

Should I trade Estevan Florial in a 14 team dynasty points league? I'm in win now mode, have a loaded OF with Robles still in the minors, and Florial has super high variance, and is probably 2+ years away. Also, did I just answer my own question? Thanks!
Brad Johnson
5:03
I think you got there
5:04
There are always more Florials
